"My Brother Terry"

Last year we visited my brother's house for a day, with Colby in tow. He was so impressed with Terry's chickens and Terry never forgot it. This year when he found that he had a few to spare he thought of Colby and as he so often does with all those around him, he donated both the chickens and his time. Today Terry and his wonderful wife Karen made the 2 hour drive to deliver them. I'm very proud of, and very grateful to be able to call this man "brother"



We got 4 different varieties of hens and also one rooster. They are Buff Orpingtons, Rhode Island Rocks, Barred Plymouths, and Ameracaunas....I think...and the rooster is also a Buff Orpington. Aren't they pretty?



Today I swam in the lake for about 40 minutes and then spent the rest of the day more wisely....with Terry and Karen. One last tough workout tomorrow!

I wish to dedicate day 324 to the memory of Bob Russell, a cancer victim and the composer of the song, "He ain't heavy, he's my brother"

Let me be more like Terry.

"Let me be a little kinder, Let me be a little blinder
To the faults about me. Let me praise a little more,
Let me be, when I am weary; Just a little bit more cheery,
Let me serve a little better Those that I am striving for.
Let me be a little braver When temptation bids me waver,
Let me strive a little harder To be all that I should be;
Let me be a little meeker to the brother that is weaker;
Let me think more of my neighbor and a little less of me.”---Anon

“I sought my soul, but my soul I could not see. I sought my God, but my God eluded me. I sought my brother and I found all three."--- Anon
